Hello,
When I am installing slony-I from rpm's available at the following
url:http://main.slony.info/downloads/1.2/rpm/ it is giving an error: There
are no installable providers of postgresql-slony1-engine.
In our system postgresql has been installed through YAST. So when we try to
install and configure slony-I through source, it gives the message please
make sure tp build and install postgresql from the sources first.
I am new to both linux and postgres. Please help me in installing and
configuring slony-I on my suse linux m/c.
Thanks,
Jyoti Seth

But it is worth noting one thing about the synchronization...
Slony-I's strategy is pretty simple: One node is considered the
"master," and the other node is forcibly made to conform to what is on
the master.
If you want to synchronize back and forth (e.g. - multimaster
replication of some sort), Slony-I is not suitable...
